Summer Time Water Fun

Splash Pad in Ivins- The boys are ready for some water fun! Check out Howie's face. He is yelling "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I am having fun."

After Tommy got off of work today, we went to a splash pad and Howie and Tommy got to play in the water. Howie LOVED it! He loved putting a stick in the hole and waiting for the water to shoot it up and then he would run away. I love my boys.

Flowers

One of Howie's favorite things to do right now is pick this pretty flower, and then blow on it and make it diappear. Caught in the act, check out his concentration while trying to blow on the flower. When we take walks, we are constantly stopping to blow on the flowers he finds.

Easter Party in Oregon

After a long rest or maybe neglect of posting, here are some of the fun pictures from our trip to Oregon.

Hiking Howie

Hiking is a new found sport/hobby of ours. We love it, especially with Howie because he loves being outside and exploring in the dirt and rocks. This is our favorite, kid-friendly rock formations play heaven called Pioneer Park. It is located right above the city of St. George. These rocks are friendly to all levels of hikers. There was even one place that was is called "The Narrows". of course, not the real Narrows, that is at Zions National Park, but this small minuature version of the Narrows was fun to shuffle through. Howie really enjoys getting dirty and climbing through the "caves" and holes. As you can see, we have a really good time at this park.

It's that time of year again.......

It is that time of year in St. George, swimming weather and Howie is very happy. This is our first swimming event of the year. Tara and Ben Johnson and their girls invited us to go swimming. We had a great time and howie had a blast. He is getting pretty good with his little arm floaties. He is quite the Duck----calm on the surface, paddling like mad underneath. It was fun to watch his little feet move. We also got him a new swimming suit from Costco. It was a Nemo one which I loved because of the swim shirt, kind of like a body suit. This will help a lot in the summer time to help Howie not get sunburned. Welcome Summer!!!
